Amplifying Fresh Voices in Literature

Co-produced by Lamprophonic and Summer on the Hudson, AmpLit Fest is a free, daylong festival that brings authors of all backgrounds, styles, and levels of recognition to center stage. With readings, workshops, panels, and a community market, AmpLit Fest makes one of life’s most solitary acts — writing — a public celebration.

The 2016 AmpLit Fest was held on June 11. To see videos and pictures from the day, visit our media page.

Where is AmpLit Fest?

AmpLit Fest is held on the W 70th Street Pier in Riverside Park South. Check out Summer on the Hudson for a host of events along the pier all summer long, and be sure to stop by Pier i Cafe for food, drinks, great people- and sunset-watching!
